Abstract
The probability is calculated of detecting coherent light in the presence of background light that has passed through a narrow-band filter of either rectangular or Lorentz frequency characteristic. Both signal and background fall on a photoelectric surface whose emitted electrons are counted and subjected to a randomized decision procedure that yields a preassigned false-alarm probability.Keywords
